Talking

I told my wife I only have about 40k into my car too.....

A lot of people wont really admit how much they have into their cars...I know I won't since most people just wont understand....

If this is a true turn key brand new body '69 Camaro for $43k, its a POS... sorry...

Agree 100%. I was polite to the guy telling me about it...all the while telling him how nice it sounded. But thinking NFW.

You have to be careful about that.... as a local talk show host says, there are really 3 prices you pay...

1. The price you paid.
2. The price you told her you paid.
3. The price you pay when she finds out the price you paid!

On latest "Leno's Garage" he out's the guy on Video about how much he spent on the wheels and the car. Kinda funny the guy even admits to having a separate account.

Love it!
How flattering would that be to find Leno waiting for you because he thinks your car is cool?

The girlfriend knows exactly how much I put in the car. Figure it's better she knows going in what she's getting herself into!

It's easier when they are the Girlfriend. They change when you marry them.
